Chrome polished 870 wingmaster restoration project

I am impressed at how shinny and clean you got it. What did you do to polish it so well? I would love to get metal that clean for a hot blue.

The is a lot of steps and materials to use. Check videos on youtube. Maybe you'll find someting. Every polisher has his own way...

Chrome plating will be to to thick. I have refinished 1000+ 870,s in thr last 25 years with evey thing you can think of from pain to park to nickle.
Thr barrle hood with not fit into the recover if u plate it. Also dame with thr mag tube threads and thr forend metal threads.
If u want shinny go electroless nickle. As u can control the thinknees easier

I agree. You have to cover some parts that you don't wanna plate.

Maybe too shiny. A brushed stainless steel look is more my taste, but I like the aqua blue shot shells.

A friend had a pistol chrome plated and the pieces didn't fit back together again. :-(

So your thread title is misleading then as it's not chrome polished but polished and awaiting chroming. We need a bubba'd guns sub-forum.

His plate job is better than your spelling. Are you drunk...or just fat fingers like me?

HA, Simon ALWAYS types like that. I chalk it up to being a busy guy.
